In case you wondered …

… How You Know. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Hilbert had no patience with mathematical lectures which filled the students with facts but did not teach them how to frame a problem and solve it. He often used to tell them that "a perfect formulation of a problem is already half its solution."
Krishnamurti always said that the solution to a problem is contained within the structure of the problem.
